Ok, so I'm updating this thread. It's been too long.
Molly i7 is Pretty as Hell

She went from having 3/8" tubing and fittings to 1/2" ID tubing and fittings. The
current water loop goes from a Liang 3.25 with EK X-Top V2, to a Thermochill PA
120.3, directly to the CPU, and from the CPU into the reservoir which outlets
back to the pump. This configuration has gotten me some impressive results on
a i7 920 2.66GHz processor overclocked to 4.2GHz. Here's a video I made showing
off the water loop

Future Plans
If anybody watched the video or has seen some of my more recent synthetic
benchmarks they'd know I came into possession of a GTX295. With the help
of SidewinderComputers.com and the guys at RealRedRaider.com I've been
introduced to a number of high quality German water cooling products made by
Watercool.de. Their products are amazing, so I've decided to cool the whole
machine on something called a MO-RA 2 a potential 9x120mm radiator:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea is that I buy the MO-RA 2 core and instead of buying the metal casing
which would come out to about $100 I'm going to make my own enclosure using
24x24x1/4" sheets of Plexi which will cost $30+labor. Off of each I/O to the rad
I will have a manifold. These manifolds will split the flow between a line going to
the CPU block, and another line dedicated to the full cover GPU block for the 295.
All blocks are made by Watercool.
More to come!
